Comments: Total time 1:23:44 (27:46, 39:38, 14:09) and I place 14th, easily my highest ranking in a World Championship. Extremely happy with my performance, HR indicates this was a very good effort. I don't think I can be much faster. It wouldn't have made much difference in my ranking in any case, I would have to be ~4' faster to move up 1 place.
First place in my AG is 1:09:56!! WOW!!
It is not often our beautiful country hosts the World Championships. So it’s rather special to be representing Canada on home soil. Awesome Du Worlds hosted by Ottawa. Everyone was impressed by the organziation. Hubby did his first du in the citizens race. He was actually faster than me - 1:22:54 (25:09, 42:28, 12:24). So glad hubby and I came. We had a blast.
For comparison, I did 2:56:40 and was 24th at the 2002 Du Worlds in Alpharetta, USA. The 7th place finisher from USA went 2:21:13 in 2002 and was 2nd today at 1:10:39. So it looks like I'm 4-5 min faster today for a sprint than I was 11 years ago,
